Sunflowers

Don't you think sunflowers are the biggest and brightest flowers there are! They follow the sun all day and then when their petals begin to fall they make birds happy with all of their seedy goodness!

When I saw this digi I knew I had to make it big and 3D. I used a pre-coloured digi image from Doodle Pantry. I printed two copies of the flower and cut out one to be the top layer. I took care to omit any of the petals that would be behind the top layer. I used my craft knife to very carefully cut out the petels and then gave them a little curl. I added some black bling to the centre (I really wanted to use my seed beads, but do you think I could find them?!). Then I glossed up the petals and the leaves of the bottom layer. I joined the two layers together with 3D foam tape and then went ahead and cut around the whole finished flower to put on my card.

My base cardstock was embossed in my Cuttlebug and then gently sanded so that the core colour comes through - this is the bit that I distressed, to join in the Cute Card Thursday challenge. Then I used some lace paper as my strips and white card for my sentiment and big circle.

Here's a little closeup of this gorgeous flower. I love the dimension the black bling gives the centre of the flower - I'm so glad I didn't find my beads! I also doodled all the black borders you see on the card.

GORGEOUS!! I love sunflowers, they are one of very favorites. How you added dimension is perfect and love the bling for the center. Great job on the card. Thanks for joining us at Tuesday Morning Sketches.

About Me

I've loved crafting since the day I picked up a pair of safety scissors and cropped a square in my fringe. I was 2. Now I prefer to cut paper and cardboard and procraftinate with hot glue and Stickles instead of study my Bach of Early Ed! Thanks for joining me on my adventure!
